Bridges Reconnect at Woodridge

Welcome to Bridges Reconnect, Woodridge

Figure it out. Get it sorted. Build a future.

Bridges Reconnect, Woodridge, provides support to young people between the ages of 12 and 18 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. We help you stabilise your living situation and give you the skills to build your own future through counselling, group work, mediation and practical support to the whole family. We are there for you.

We assist young people to:

stay at home until they have the necessary skills to become independent

connect with supports if they have become homeless

access counselling, mediation and general support to re-engage with their life, and

better deal with conflict within the family home

It all depends on your own circumstances.
